A member asked:
I was told i need to have about 100mg of protein per day. how much is that in grams?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Huh?: 100 mg is 1/10th of a gram. This amount of protein would be entirely inadequate for even a small dog. The recommended daily allowance is somewhere between 40-70 grams per day depending upon weight and activity. You might be a 100 gram/day guy if you are large and very active.
